    In the 2 pack systems where you get a basecoat and a lacquer touch up stick a lot of people just use basecoat and think because the job looks good don't risk going any further so don't bother using a lacquer top coat over it. What they don't realise is these base coats are porus so if you are through the primer on a metal panel your stonechip is still rusting away under your paint repair.

    • @ImranAli-rp4kd
      @ImranAli-rp4kd Рік тому +6

      Yh it’s porous and primer is porous, I’m sure you’ve seen cars where they used body filler to do the repair and just sprayed primer and been driving around with just primer, they think the primer will prevent the rust and they will just do the base coat and clear coat when they can be bothered but it’s pointless, primer is even more porous than base coat, pointless just doing half of the repair.
      What I do is mix the base coat and clear coat then do the touch up. What I bought recently is kwikchip sprayless scratch repair touch up, it’s specially designed for this and you just do the touch up then to level it you can polish it, they have some other chemicals like leveller and haze remover but I only bought the sample which is just the paint but haven’t tried it yet, don’t know if it will any better than normal touch up paint

    • @ImranAli-rp4kd
      @ImranAli-rp4kd Рік тому +2

      @@alfgunn you can but depends really if the results are the same as doing it separate, for deeper stone chips I think it would be better to use each process separate including primer touch up as you need to build up the layers to fill deeper stuff and when you put 2 coats on it might look ok but it will shrink and to make the repair look better then you would have to go back and put more layers on

    Nice one Jon, just what I needed.
    The one you did a year ago was good, but this has sooooo much more detail, cos you show us all the products you use. Perfect for all us weekend warriors who care but don't have the experience you have.
    I've bought my nano polisher, ordered the paint from Lexus (yeah I know, money to burn 😁)
    I had ordered some fine brushes from Amazon, but those sticks look much better as I can chuck 'em away and easily get a crown. Saying an hour for drying in the winter cold for the paint helped. 3000 grit daisy, one of those gone on order along with green and purple Flex pads.
    I believe Lexus paint is soft is there anything else I should be aware of?

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  Рік тому +4

      glad it helps dave. i think with deeper ones wait for the paint to dry to see if it needs another coat to riase it up. once you have a nice dome over the chip it can be flattened down and buffed out.

    Great content again. Never thought of using a drill to mix the touch up paint, brilliant idea. My paint on my mk2 CRV is a blue metallic but in bright sun has a purple hue. When I bought the car it had a deep scratch which had gone right through to bare metal and had started to rust. I did buy primer,top coat and lacquer as a kit off eBay. But I still need to put more paint in the scratch so those dabbers would be a good idea rather than a model brush.

    Nice. I do something similar where I don't do a crown with the paint, but rather with the clear. I try to overlap just slightly the edge of the chip with the paint and after it dries the clear is applied that has a slight crown. I actually then use a clay bar to flatten it and then polish with a polisher. Works for me.

    A suggestion: Purchase a "Mirka" Mini File To sand down the chip after using the dabber stick to fill the paint chip. Filling the paint chip must include the full chip as well as the exterior all the way around, let the paint wick itself to fill the chip. Let the paint cure to full hardness prior to using the "Mirka" mini file to perform the sanding of the crown of the chip with the clear coat. After this stage you will be able to perform the final polish. Using this method, prior stone chips will not be visible.

      I used to do this back in the day too! I used to use a sponge rather than a rag for the paint. I wouldn't do it on a nice motor, but it's a great way to freshen up the bumpers on a cheaper car that is badly chipped. Trick is not to let it dry too much, or it will be a bitch to polish all the excess paint off.

      I just used 2500 grit sandpaper and cut a square bit of plastic stick off something, wrap it around (so its about 10mm wide) then rub it gently back and forth, takes a while. Get creative, doesn't need to be fancy.just sandpaper folded would do, just needs to be flat so you get an even sanding and use very little pressure.

    The problem with this method is that when you sand you'll remove the texture and create a flat spot. When i started detailing way back i did this to my BMW's hood and it was full of flatspots so i had to sand it all over to make it seamless. Something like Mirka mini file would be better tool to level the touch up.

    🤔…… or, rather than forking out on those plastic paint dabbers even though they’re only a few £s, you could tear a small piece off the corner of a kitchen towel and twizzle the end to a sharp point. Use this to accurately apply your touch-up paint/lacquer. I’ve used this method for years and it’s easily as good as those plastic dabber thingies. You’re welcome.😊

      Or just use something thin and pointed such as a toothpick. never ever use the brush provided, simply too big for precise work. then protect the surrounding, leaving just 1-2mm to blend into the surrounding, then have fun with the 2000 grit sandpaper and compound/polish.
      1) perfection is only possible with a respray. 2) a colour-matched flat spot is less obvious than a colour-matched pimple from 3 feet away.

    Jon, is a Sanding Daisy a de-nibber?

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  6 місяців тому

      hmm some people call it this. because you can use a sanding daisy on a block to de nibb dirt specs. But you can also get stones which are more agressive sometimes referred to as de nibbers or stoning.

      @@ForensicDetailing aha. Cheers. I’ve seen the stones. Or carbide. Think called. About 60-80 quid. Painters use on runs??? Think I’ll just pick up a foam daisy 3M product or another … Use some stick on Velcro on 1200 grit on scratch to caress scratches or take heads off ( crown ) off stone chips touch ins. Cheers Jon

      @@ForensicDetailing Dr Colorchip gives a much better result as it can be levelled flat with no blobs and doesn't require sanding or any abrasion to do so, it's just a solution that goes over the paint that removed excess.

Also how different manufacturers have different clears and how different pads/compounds word differently on each. Thanks again, next week I’m taking care of chips on my 2022 satin steel metallic ZL1.

    Stone chips in that quantity is a result of driving too close to the vehicle in front. It’s a habit you or the previous owner have got into, probably without realising it.

      its gloss paint mate. the effort required to flatten color and clear, sand, buff, finish and is too much. and the paint and laquer kits are expensive. get cheap touch up paint on ebay for 4-5 quid. the color match is usually good. fill it, sand it buff it up. do it quickly. they are never transparant. touch up vids becoming popular on instagram and stuff but they dont show you the true results.

      Instead of asking how it’s much more easy this reaction says it all…you think are the expert but you remove unnecessary clearcoat around the chip, where you can also do this work by almost not touching the clearcoat but only the chip itself…I did not invent this myself but there are detailers on the web that do know more that goes beyond a bit of detailing…this is working like an elephant in the room 😁
